St. Jerome is sponsored by the Croatian Franciscan Friars.
Philosophy
St. Jerome School is a catholic school dedicated to the total growth and development of the Christian child. The faculty and staff recognize the dignity and differences of individual students. Therefore, they strive to develop each child's spiritual, intellectual, emotional, physically and social potential within a caring environment.
The school is part of St. Jerome Parish. In cooperation with the parents, the primary educators, the faculty strives to provide academic excellence in a setting that attempts to implement the values and traditions of the Catholic Church.
While recognizing the homogeneous character of the school, programs and projects are designed to extend the focus from their personal culture and the world around them. The emphasis must be that each child respects the dignity of every human being.
The school staff concurs with this belief and invites the students to a greater awareness of Christ's presence in the world through the witnessing of Gospel values. The ultimate objective is to guide the students to strive for the truth, and to live this truth as responsible members of the Church and society.
